Video Shows Florida Panther Run Past Woman on Nature Walk

Not only do Florida Panthers like to hang out on porches, they also apparently like nature walks.

That's according to a video a woman posted on Facebook Tuesday showing one of the endangered cats running past her on a wooden walkway.

Tina Dorschel, who posted the video, said she was on an early morning nature walk at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in Naples when she encountered the panther.

"On on early morning nature walk we saw a gator, a snake, frogs, pretty birds, and had this unexpected encounter. (Warning...curse word at end!)" Dorschel posted, along with the brief video clip.

The news comes as a Fort Myers man captured a rare sight of a Florida panther taking a rest on his father's porch.
